Stellar list of questions, Mark. (And that was a spectacular prank. Something tells me Anne remembered that much longer than she would’ve remembered the award.)

“Unfortunately, most people didn’t ask the foregoing questions.”

I would go one step further:

“Unfortunately, most people didn’t ask ANY questions.”

I suspect a lot of people did ask questions. Maybe even some of the questions on Mark's excellent list. They were just afraid to ask them out loud. The human animal seems to have an infinite capacity for self deception. It seems that many otherwise intelligent folks have mastered Orwellian doublethink to the extent that they can ask a question, know the answer, and acknowledge the answer is insane. And then ignore the question. Or maybe its just the inherent laziness of our instant gratification world. 'Go along to get along'.

The scientists made fun of me because I did ask questions. I have been called a stupid cow, a negator of science, stupid, you name it, from family and people I thought were very close friends. I repaid some of them with repeated questions ! At least two have woken up now. They did not apologize, but one told be to be dead scared, seeing all the adverse reactions of the jabbed.

I'm an independent contractor in my field and I just got a call from long time friend about a job on the east coast. Was getting ready to book my ticket and the company I'd be working for sent me their "return to work safely" requirements. Which includes boosters. I turned down the job and probably have lost a lifelong friend. What it made me realize is that Covid "true believers", those that are committed blindly to the idea that the virus is deadly and the shots are effective and safe, believe in the "mythology" of covid and have not exposed themselves to any facts or opinions to the contrary. They've been successfully walled off from "disinformation". In their minds, why have a choice? Covid's deadly, and the totally safe shots (Walensky said so) will keep you out of the hospital. Why wouldn't you? As my friend said," I can't imagine what your problem is." Our country lives in totally separate information bubbles and this is not good. I sincerely hope that the Musk acquisition of Twitter will begin to break this wall down. At least to the point where more people can begin to understand different points of view. We have become a Tower of Babel and that ain't good.

Totally agree, and I congratulate you on your decision. The jabbed are unhealthier by far, so it seems. All kinds of problems. Send your friend the 9pages of adverse reactions from Pfizer. That might open their eyes. It helped when I mentioned it to one of mine. He is now awoken, stopped masking, and I don't think he will boost again.

I work with about 35 attorneys - they are trained to ask questions, evaluate evidence, be alert to conflicts of interests and flat out lying ... but none did; all rushed out and got vaxed as soon as the state "made it available" to them (e.g. health care workers first, then elderly, etc).

The key question in early 2020 was, where are all the sick people?

For such an allegedly quick-spreading, serious, dangerous virus we should have been surrounded by sick people, in our homes, neighbours, friends, workplace - and I don’t mean hospitalised, just people feeling so ill they would stay at home, go to bed.

We have all lived through Winters where ‘a bug has been going around’, lots of people away from work, lots of people around sick with ‘the bug’… but in Jan - Mar 2020, nothing. And subsequently during the next ‘waves’ an absence of sick people around us.

You don’t need to be an expert or check hospital admissions, just observe the surrounding. community.

The only sick people we saw were on the daily computer predictions and graphs of dead and dying - but around us? Nothing.

We had a pandemic of wellness - even ‘flu and Colds had disappeared. Also a pandemic of PCR Tests but this was mostly healthy people.

there actually WAS a very serious flu-like bug going around in our area -- it nailed 3 people in my office of about 30 people, which is quite a high number (and these people do not work together or in close proximity). This was in January 2020. We have wondered if it was COVID. Who knows? It was serious and unusual enough that we all took note at the time.

Expand full comment

This is right up my contrarian alley. For almost two years I've been investigating the hypothesis that this virus WAS spreading - and spreading "widely" - months before the lockdowns - Even before the "Wuhan outbreak" which was reported by China to the W.H.O. on December 31, 2019. One piece of "evidence" that fits my hypothesis is that "the flu" was "widespread" and "severe" in many sections of the country beginning in November 2019, but with obvious spikes in December and January. For example, schools across the country closed due to a "flu-like illness." I was sick in January - and tested "negative" for flu and have found scores of acquaintances who were also sick. Most either tested negative for flu or never got a flu test.

Here's a feature story I wrote on an Alabama couple who almost certainly had COVID in December 2019. Both tested positive for antibodies and the husband had a severe case and almost died. This story got no national attention - Still hasn't ... but it's the story that got me started investigating this "off limits" hypothesis. I invite readers to read it themselves and tell me if these are indeed "likely" cases (and they weren't the only Americans who later tested positive for antibodies).

Here's another question: Why didn't CDC or state health officials ever even talk to this couple? The husband has hundreds of pages of medical records that all match a severe case of Covid.

Like. You are not the only one suspecting this. I read several stories from Europe, a Frenchman in December 19 and several others. I wonder if the leak was indeed in September, the virus spread among the military (the european sick were almost all near a base). So much to investigate but no one looks into it.

My son-in-law was extremely ill in January 2020 for 6-8 weeks. Elevated temp, relentless cough, said he felt like he couldn’t breathe unless he laid on his stomach. His wife, my daughter, is a RN in an Arizona hospital. She got mildly ill at the time. We now always say that we’re so glad he got ill before anyone knew about C19, otherwise if was a month or two later, he may have gone into a hospital and gotten put on a ventilator etc. and might’ve died (been killed by the awful treatment protocols). Oh, and also when folks first starting hearing of Covid19 in Feb/Mar 2020, everyone I knew with young children noted their kids had ‘some sort of weird flu’ during Nov/Dec 2019.

I concur. Two of my coworkers were quite ill in Nov-Dec 2019. Unusually long lasting symptoms, notably in their chests and lungs; different from a normal flu or cold, they averred. Then the covid-mania hit shortly after.

Expand full comment

"Different than a normal flu or cold." I've saved HUNDREDS of posts (found on Reader Comment sites) where people say the same thing. Are they ALL mistaken? One of the 17 Americans - from published media accounts - of Americans who were sick in November or December 2019 and later tested positive for antibodies is from a 64-year-old retired nurse in rural Washington state. She's a nurse. She's been seeing sick patients her entire working career and, presumably like all of us, had suffered through the "normal flu" several times in her life. She says this was NOT like other flu cases she'd had. She's adamant she had COVID. She did have COVID. In fact, she could/should have been the first "confirmed" case of Covid in the world. But her case has never been "confirmed." Still, her case is somewhat unique in that state and local health officials DID look into her case. They even said - per the Seattle Times - it was "very possible" she did have COVID. But the CDC has never spoken with her and the first "official" Covid case in America is still in January 2020.

Were they ever tested for anything? In February, I had an extremely bad case of Influenza A (I tested positive for it); knocked me out for 10 days - two weeks. I wondered if maybe I had Covid mixed in with the Influenza - who knows? They weren't testing for it yet.

Since then, I've been very healthy; no Covid, just recently had a typical cold/sinus infection that was identical to every cold I've had for the past 20-30 years.

They were not tested because it was so early -- no one was thinking "COVID" at that point.

Expand full comment

An anecdote from my possible "early case." I had ALL the COVID symptoms in January 2020, was sick enough to go to the doctor and tested negative for flu. My doctor later told me - in an interview with me wearing my freelance journalist hat - that his "gut instinct" is that COVID was spreading earlier than we've been told. And adminstrator friend at the same medical practice (which serves 12 counties) told me that doctors and nurses were wondering, "Is there something wrong with the flu tests?" Because so many people with flu-type symptoms were testing negative for flu. I also have never tested positive for COVID since via a PCR test, which suggests I might have acquired natural immunity from my "non-case." I think there are probably MILLIONS of Americans like me.

One of my daughters is an IMCU nurse and was caring for covid patients. The difference with this virus is the unusual way it was attacking the body making treatment difficult under the restrictions the hospitals were given. Nurses and doctors witnessed ugly deaths and it scared some into believing the narrative, but others saw they were being purposely restricted from using treatment options that would work. Too many doctors and nurses did not ask enough questions and went along with the medical brainwashing.

I've a friend whose son is a traveling nurse, and he revealed what was going on. It's horrible what the hospital staff did during the "pandemic". Doctors, nurses, would not enter rooms because they were terrified of catching the virus. Patients developed bedsores, were not served food, nor given water. This is why ventilators were used! They wanted to control the exhalations of patients. Heaven forbid any health care worker me exposed to SARS-Cov-2!

And then they had the audacity to put signs outside hospitals saying, "Heroes Work Here". Shame on the medical profession.

ICU is always ‘really bad’ because that’s where severe cases of anything go. The point I made was the absence of sick peopke around us in normal life. For one thing people who get infected do not go immediately to ICU, it can take up to ten days before CoVid becomes serious. So back to, where were all the sick people either before they were serious enough to go to hospital, or not serious enough to need hospital?

I think it spread worldwide a whole lot earlier than advertised (Jan 2020). If that’s correct, TONS of people had already been exposed to one degree or another months before any lockdown….

Expand full comment

I have no doubt you are correct. The push-back against the "early spread" hypothesis is that there would have been too many deaths to "miss." The fact is though that 99.8 percent of people who come down with COVID survive, with very few even being serious enough to have to go to the hospital. But I think older people WERE dying in December, January into early March 2020. These deaths were just attributed to pneumonia or the flu or unknown causes. Some officials must know this and I strongly suspect have covered up this knowledge. The main way they cover this up is to simply NOT investigate likely early cases. What they don't investigate can't be "confirmed."

Exactly. I knew quite a few people in Fall-Winter 2019 who had a “mystery illness” to various degrees. I had what I thought was a really bad bronchitis in Feb 2020, never saw a doctor, just put up w/ it until it went away. And you’re surely correct that the old &/or frail were dying & chocked up to flu or pneumonia, as they do every winter. Would totally ruin the plan if it could’ve been proved there was natural herd immunity 6 months or more before March 2020. It makes my blood boil to think what we’ve all been put through & I just don’t know that the karmic wheel will turn for those responsible. I hope so

It IS disgraceful how your mom & partner were treated. I guess if they couldn’t kill them by keeping them OUT of the hospital, they hoped to do so IN hospital. They’re lucky; my greatest fear was getting hospitalized because I knew they’d try to kill me w/ phony treatments or vent me or something.

I read in The Epoch Times certain hospitals did two things automatically with Covid "cases." Put them on massive quantities of the drug Fauci praises. Remdesivir. This can cause organ failure.

They were denied food or drink due to fears of contagion and cowardly nurses avoided them since they believed they'd get infected and die.

You just described my thought process for the last two plus years. I am one those people who never believed in the plandemic. From the moment they said lock down. I raised so many questions with public officials. I sent them countless data reports, articles, medical reports. They all repeated the same thing. They sounded just like fauci. Even my own doctor when I challenged him would repeat the same nonsense. He even tried to tell me and my husband this was like the time of ww11 with us making sacrifices for the collective good. Then when I started hearing them say, little kids should stay away from grandma or they might kill her. I said, " I am great grandma and that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I have binders full of data and articles. When they started censoring, banning and vilifying doctors, experts, researchers and scientists guess who I looked to for information? The doctors, experts, researchers and scientists that were censored, banned and vilified. I am grateful I never bought into this. I have never been tested and I wouldn't consider taking their experimental drugs. I found people like Robert Kennedy Jr. I read his book on fauci, gates and pharma. I was not surprised to learn just how corrupt the cdc, the fda and the nih are. I personally believe this was planned for the great reset, too many world leaders all graduated from the WEF. Too many repeated the same mantras. I am past the point of appeasing the people that are under the mass psychosis. I don't care if I've lost friends, I refuse to live under a lie so someone else can "feel" better, "feel" safer. It's not my job to wear a mask so you feel anything. I miss the days when men were men, and told it like it was, your feelings be damned. I grew up in the Era of use your brain for something besides a hat rack. My father's favorite saying. God Bless him.

My sister died 4 days after her second dose of a brain aneurism. I've had countless friends go into the hospital never to return. After what I've learned, they never stood a chance.

Just watched an interview with Dr. Richard Urso explaining his observations on the last two years. He also discussed what's happening to the vaccinated. That's another thing that burned my buns "it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated" sorry, that's not what the data that you are ignoring, is showing. It's good to know there are people who still use their brains. How will this end? We have to wait and see. I thank God every day I raised my kids the same way. None of them have been vaccinated and none of them believed for a minute in this nonsense. My kids didn't go to college in the usual way, we learned a long time ago they are no longer educating but indoctrinating. That's why we have so many young people thinking the world is going to end. Maybe it will but I'm quite sure bill gates and his cronies won't be the ones to save it.

I overheard a young woman in line at a gas station in Calais commenting to her friend that she just got back from Canada and she was so glad to be back. She said it's crazy in Canada. The young woman is a returning university student, so experienced all measures in Canada including the university requirenment to be jabbed in order to attend.

I knew your question list was just partial. Which makes your main point even more obvious. You could have included 100 other common-sense questions. I actually posted 30 of my questions somewhere else in the Comments Section (for an article I wrote that no one would publish last April). I should have posted those questions here. My bad.

I love your angle of thinking of this as a prank, and how some people catch on and others don't. And it is very cruel.

And they haven't finished yet with this elaborate prank -- that is why they are not coming clean about it.

This is actually a very useful analogy -- there really IS such a thing as "duping delight" of sociopaths. Which these perpetrators are. So much fun in laughing behind closed doors, anticipating pulling one over on (in this case) the entire population of the world.... seeing how extreme the lies can be and have people still believe them and go along with the absurd theater of covering faces when standing up (but taking the mask off when seated/eating), wiping off groceries, hating on their friends, shunning relatives at Christmas, coercing people to jab themselves (repeatedly!) with poisons, wearing face shields and rubber gloves, walking wide paths when encountering another pedestrian, and an endless number of increasingly bizarre "and so ons."

This reminds me of the video game "The Sims." Power and control and ruling the world. It's just a game to them, and the subjects of the game are just expendable characters to be toyed with.

Make people do very embarrassing things. Laugh at them behind closed doors.

But eventually you will reveal what has been done to them (what they actually did to themselves, at your suggestion -- no, it was never forced. They "chose" it. So you are blameless. You DID actually tell the truth at times, sprinkled in. It's their fault if they didn't figure it out -- so dumb!). Now, laugh at them to their face. Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!! (we are not there yet)

And that is part of the fun for these sociopaths -- when the prank is revealed, and the look of horror on the person's face -- they now have VAIDS, they fired their good employees for no reason, their elderly mother died alone in a nursing home and they didn't hold a funeral, etc.

So! Much! Fun! On so many levels, for these very SICK predatory sociopathic evil monsters.

It's even fun for them, that some of us have figured out their game, but our loved ones have not, so we look on in horror as they continue to jab themselves and we can't protect them or wake them up.

there is a continuum. Sociopaths/psychopaths are lacking in something which normal humans have. People say it's "empathy."

No, that's not really it. What they lack is compassion.

And they will never go for a "win-win." They only win by making their opponent lose, and their opponent must lose in the most miserable way possible.

They will work hard to find out what you love the most, and they will take that away from you.

They will seek to learn what you fear the most, and they will deliver that right to your door.

Ah yes, I see where you are going with this. It is like they are jealous and have a vindictiveness in their heart, because of their own inadequacies; and they can only feel better by punishing others. The Count of Monte Cristo on steroids!

very good way of describing it! it's not only that they're lacking compassion or empathy, they don't know what it is and are terrified of it. also they somehow understand that it's something they would want to have, but they can't, which makes them envious. this lies at the heart of their ruthlessness - never going for a win-win but for nothing less than a total crush.

The idea that there are no conspiracies seems wrong post Covid. How could there be so many coincidences if not coordinated? Now the food shortage announcement and factories burning when China and Gates are buying our farmland feels planned. I now question everything. I didn’t take the jabs due to a pre-existing autoimmune disease, but I also never trusted them.

Good article Mark! I remember going to the grocery store and asking the checkout clerk why she was wearing a mask. “People are dying” she said.

It struck me that no one thinks of how many people die each day. For a very very long time (millenia?) we haven’t gone one day without someone dying, if not scores of people dying. I looked up the number and it’s over 2000 deaths per day in the US. Pre Covid post Covid. It’s just gonna happen. Doesn’t make me heartless to say the number. But it can be used to manipulate the uninformed!

(Update: I was way off. Over 8000 per day! 😱. 1.67 per second world wide)

Mark nails one of the key questions I've asked as well: How many people did you personally know - under the age of 80 (or 70) who died from COVID? Even today - 25 months since the official start date of the pandemic - I can only name three people I personally knew who died from Covid. One was 70, one was 80 and one was 81. Three known deaths in 25 months and all of them had lived a long life.

I'm pretty sure that most of the corona maniacs are actually not done. None of it ever made any sense and still doesn't. I knew right away and told my wife (back in March 2020) that none of this is sustainable, everything is gonna break, and they're just going to spread misery.

The part that I got wrong is that I thought that was enough for it to be stopped sooner than later. Little did I know then that the destruction and misery is apparently the goal.

The maniacs don't care if it is a patently obvious farce. Maybe even better for their goal. The corona maniacs are also sadists to some degree IMO. It really is about submission... to an obvious farce.

If the masses utilized their God-given critical skills, if they weren’t such “skilled TV watchers” they would have refused to comply and this whole government-imposed tragedy would have folded quite quickly. But they didn’t so it didn’t.

Yet another great read! To me, it all added up to evil/control from the beginning, especially it being an election year, but I had no idea how bad it would get. Hubby and I talk about where it will all go from here. I'm undecided. If there is a revival and a return to Christ and morality, we go one way. If not, we continue down this path of destruction until society as we know it completely collapses. There will be a first domino and then it will go fast I think.

I was recently with a friend and their 30 something son and we visited a restaurant. The son dutifully placed a mask on his face upon entering and removed it when seated. He then replaced it upon his face to use the restroom and then removed it upon return. I kept my mouth shut as it wasn't my place to stir up a hornet's nest, but this is pure unquestioned conditioning. "It's just what we've always done" seems to be the current modus operandi to why people are doing things that clearly make no rational/scientific sense. It's sad and frightening that people are so blindly compliant.

I was saddened to recently meet an old friend (60 something) at an OUTDOOR restaurant, and yes, he dutifully arrived wearing his mask and kept it on while seated until the food arrived, and even then he randomly would put it back on for awhile. In these parts, as you say you kept your mouth shut, it is considered highly disrespectful to question someone's masking choices. (we never had an outdoor mask mandate here. His reasons remain his own private mystery)

Isn’t is crazy when we look back at all of this ridiculousness? And I believe that they’ll try it again. And again. We must not comply next time. It’s the only answer that I can come up with. If everyone refuses to concede our individual rights guaranteed under the USA laws, that will work. (None of these mandates were actually legal, in my opinion.) We must all turn our backs to it, ignore it, not comply. ALL of us. It’s not ‘real’.

I live winters in the wilderness of California by a ski resort. No one here even thought for one moment to obey the stupid shut down directives. When we went to the big city of Modesto 75 miles away all the food factory and winery and orchard workers kept working as "essential workers". There was never an interruption. The very idea that anyone THAT ANYONE would obey stay at home "orders" was as laughable then as it is now. The anecdotal stories of most all normal old age or cancer or heart attack & etc deaths being recorded as covid deaths just confirmed the fact that it was all a hoax. No... I realize covid is a serious seasonal virus that does indeed kill but obviously not any more serious than HonKing flu or Swine Flu of a few years prior... yes of course it is a real disease... that's not the hoax part... just the overreaction is... anyway... ...from March of 2020 we knew it was a terrible overreaction. Why anyone much less a whole nation would obey stay at home and mask up orders made no sense. A BB going thru a chain link fence is the same as a covid virus germ going thru a mask for Christ sake... anyone who know anything about the science of are sold knows this... anyway... So we all just ignored it ... and no one ever told us we had to. Except at the doors to stores. Where we all put on a mask for the 20 seconds to get into the store. Question: who was dumb enough to take the stay at home orders seriously? Oh wait I know I know... it was and still is 80% of the population. The only thing g that keeps me sane about it all? Is... The fact that Canada and Australia and NZ and England were all even worse!!!!!

I had a back-and-forth email dialogue with the leading sports columnist in my state. He wrote a series of columns in the summer of 2020 basically calling for the cancellation of college football (and all sports) to protect the athletes. Even in July 2020 I could tell him that COVID posed no risk to healthy young athletes. Furthermore, if he wanted to save the proverbial "one life," he should call for the abolition of the sport of football - which kills about five to 12 people every year (from broken necks, heart attacks, heat stroke, etc).

Another sad lesson: People proven to be spectacularly wrong never face any repercussions for being spectacularly wrong. As a writer myself, I sometime go back and read old articles I wrote just to see if what I wrote "holds up." Just about every piece our well-known columnists write does NOT hold up and looks silly in retrospect. Doesn't matter. These people still are considered authorities and remain "opinion makers."
